If you repair your own appliances you know that success or failure can often hinge on whether or not you can find small plastic or metal parts that may no longer be produced. Finnish hacklab site P0RV00 H4CKLAB was able to successfuly replicate a small broken plastic part otherwise unobtainable for their Matsui MF654EWN dishwasher using a 3D Printer.

Until we get to that point if you have a similarly broken small part for which you can't find a replacement, you may want to find a local student or amateur hackspace or makeshop; the users there would probably welcome the challenge and design and print your part for a small fee.
